Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias. Windows examples and tools (PowerShell, WindowsAzureGuestAgent, New-NetFirewallRule) are consistently presented first, with more detailed and explicit instructions. Linux equivalents are provided, but sometimes with less detail or with references to external documentation. Windows-specific tooling (PowerShell, Windows firewall) is mentioned before Linux alternatives, and some Linux instructions are less direct (e.g., 'consult your distribution's documentation').
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions throughout the documentation to avoid consistently prioritizing Windows.
- Provide equally detailed, step-by-step Linux instructions for all major distributions (not just Ubuntu, Red Hat, SUSE), or link to official docs for each.
- Include direct Linux command examples for all steps where Windows PowerShell is used, rather than referring users to external documentation.
- Where Windows tools are mentioned (e.g., PowerShell, Windows firewall), ensure Linux equivalents (e.g., iptables, nftables, firewalld) are described with similar clarity and completeness.
- Add troubleshooting tips and verification steps for Linux users, matching those provided for Windows.
- Review and update links to ensure Linux VM deployment templates are correct (the Ubuntu link currently points to a Windows template).
